Keep Worcester Walking in Winter

City of Worcester ordinances require property owners to clear snow and ice in front of and adjacent to their property. Property owners can be fined $75 per day and/or assessed the cost of removal by the City if they do not clear snow and ice. Do your part to keep sidewalks, curb-cuts, and ramps clear of snow and ice!
